Brigid Brophy, uniquely significant in postwar British literary, cultural and public intellectual life, is also its most egregiously neglected genius. This astonishing volume--which, as befits its subject, is honest, multifaceted and exploding with critical and imaginative intelligence--does a great and necessary service to her legacy, and to the history of twentieth-century letters.--Robert McKay, University of Sheffield
